Go slow

Hustling from situation to situation, you are
vainly promoting your short-breathed venation;

Chest in, chest out in a hurry, in your quest, you are
Subject to mild violence depriving you from you the best;

Face down in a frown, avoiding the looks, you are
stuck in a constant state of flux;

Sir speed-foot has just been sucked to hell, you are
neither ready to abort that lie, nor to counter try;

Might as well slow down, pace down, else you are
confined to gravity in your feet, in your soul;

Serve your step firmly to the sensual ground, then you are
likely to elicit confidence in mother earth abound;

It will gratify you to feel her respond, hence you will
go slow in sync and never again be in a hurrypink.

Blend with her ultima beat, blend, go slow and human haste withstand.
